Bunty Backhander using public money and premises to distribute leaflets and plan.

By The Basa ⋅ April 29, 2007 ⋅

It seems that Elizabeth “Bunty Backhander” Maginnis is using her influence as Chair of the Pilton Partnership.

Partnership funded (supposedly independent) North Edinburgh News’ David Pickering who is a full time employee of the project was at his workplace to receive the Labour Party leaflets that he was instructed to hand out in the community by Bunty.

Futher to this was her conversation with him of how he was to get together with her husband Michael Maginnis (who works for the NHS and her consultancy company Grierson Associates) and her son to cut down the posters of the other parties on Wednesday night. Supposedly, they are to try and target the independent candidate Fred Marinello who looks, because of Bunty’s fraud and abuse in the area, to be a shoo in for the Forth Ward.

People in the area are worried that City Baillie Billy Fitzpatrick is using the same distribution methods of having Partnership funded projects’ workers go round the doors.

It has now been reported not only on this site, but also on http://www.piltonsucks.com/ that the local labour MSP candidate Malcolm Chisholm now has a copy of the damning document which should appear in the local and national press in the next few days. How is Chisholm going to get out of that. Chisholm knew that the merger with the Circle Six Project had lots of money stolen but he stuck his head in the sand. All this is now going to hit the national press.

Ian Cooke, the Pilton Partnership manager will have a lot of questions to answer as to why tens of thousands of pounds of debt were written off before the merger (and without proper public documentation) and why this wasn’t truthfully reported to the funding bodies. Caroline Pickering (the wife of the abovenamed) will also have questions to answer.

What Bunty didn’t know until she reads this is that there are people with digital cameras throughout the area who are taking pictures of all the dodgy stuff including people standing by to see the Maginnis and Pickering families cutting down other parties posters.
